Yes we hadn't explained PoS very well.
You can stake after coins have matured.
The PoS period is unlimited.
5.5% per annum.
To stake you must encrypt and lock your wallet.
Then go to settings and unlock and make sure the 'For staking only' checkbox is ticked.
Your wallet will then stake matured coins for you to earn interest.
PoW ends on block 131,400
I followed the above instructions.
my wallet was not locked and I still received POS. Do i get more if my wallet is locked?
POS does not work with a locked wallet.
Sorry! i meant the wallet was not encrypted! But I still received POS coins
Ok mate. Same thing. Cannot stake an encrypted wallet. Wallet must be unlocked/not encrypted. So you will not get any more coins by encrypting. Only by sending all coins at once to the same address when it is empty. This will increase your stake weight.
The above was then posted later, and not from a dev. So will my encrypted, semi-locked wallet stake OK?
